what are some books like naked lunch

>>8477551
Not memeing: Joyce. Ulysses was a huge influence on Burroughs. Also, some of the best stuff by Welsh or Palahniuk has a similar vibe.

exterminator also by burroughs

Hmm, the "Circe" part of Ulysses is kind of Naked Lunch-esque for sure, and I guess Finnegan's Wake.

Also, Hunter S. Thompson

Anon...

Why is everyone so into Naked Lunch here. It just screams "I'm a 19 year old male and starting to become literary minded." Which I guess, this is 4chan's lit board, so probably.

I was 15 when I was first hooked up with Naked Lunch and now I'm a 19 years old male and still find it pretty good.

A.J. going amok when the women want to get fucked and the inuits are falling from teh ceiling to fuck them is one of my favourite passages in all of literature

Yeah you clearly are 19 and clearly need to read more.

le dejeuner de nu?

No, this is the thing, I've read a lot of shit, but I usually do because of this kind of scene and stuff. That's why I like Pynchon and Burroughs and [Will] Self and Hunter Thompson so much. I even read Dostoievski's "The Idiot" just to laugh at the guy who faints trying to get the shit that girl throws on the fire. I just want to laugh at some funny shit

Your edginess hurts, mate. I'm also 19 and you make me feel ashamed for my demographic.

But it's not for "le edgy" as much as it is for "le kek". Thompson and Pinecone wrote almost nothing that was truly edgy, and I prefer to laugh when I'm reading the description of a guy eating shit out of a woman's asshole than to pretend that it has some kind of meta meaning to it. But that's just me doing me.

JG Ballard - The Atrocity Exhibition

I really like these pics

>>8477663
Haha Literally what Pynchon have you read man? The guy's an elderly silent generation writer of massive and massively complex postmodern novels. Excuse me for thinking it's suspicious that a kid born in 1997 who is not yet of age to have even completed any higher education could hang with that in any meaningful way.

I'm 28, and GR is still largely too esoteric for me.

I just think I know you because I used to be you. When I was 19 my favorite writers were Burroughs, Kerouac, Thompson and Chuck Palahniuk.
